These muffins are moist, delicious and good for you, too! A great way to use up that one lonely apple that is languishing in your fruit bowl. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup whole wheat flour |
3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats |
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |

2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. To make the topping, stir together the brown sugar, pecans, whole wheat flour, butter and cinnamon; set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, egg, sugar and vanilla.
4. Pour over the dry ingredients and then add the apple.
5. Stir just to blend.
